War and Doctor Who
Two videos by Margarita Life:

Doctor Who | LIFE MUST WIN
This video is not my best. But that's all I can do for now. I understand that you would like to see more fan videos than videos about Ukraine. So I will try to do my best.
It's technically a Doctor Who vid (using footage from all of New Who, right up to & including Flux), but it's art doing what art does best: showing truth through a story.

UKRAINE | I hear more screams than anyone could ever be able to count
Age restricted, due to the footage. I am sure you can guess, from the title, what it depicts. (The speech is one of the best speeches in the whole show, and yet I hate how relevant it is, and always has been.)
The music is Sarajevo by Max Richter.

And speaking of Doctor Who and war - a book by Aboud Dandachi (Kindle price £0.99):
The Doctor,The Eye Doctor and Me: Analogies and Parallels Between The World of Doctor Who and the Syrian Conflict
"Never cruel or cowardly. Never give up, never give in" - The Doctor's Promise
"Assad or we burn the country" - The Eye Doctor's Promise
The Doctor, the lead character in the BBC’s phenomenally successful TV show “Doctor Who”; a time-traveling alien hundreds of years old. A compassionate person with the curiosity of a child and the wisdom of the ages.
The Eye Doctor, Bashar Assad of Syria, whose ophthalmology studies in the UK were interrupted to enable him to inherit the presidency of a country from his father.
"The Doctor, the Eye Doctor and Me" is the world of Doctor Who and the Syrian conflict as seen through the eyes of Aboud Dandachi, an activist and refugee from the city of Homs. The book attempts to explain the events of the Syrian conflict by exploring the remarkable analogies, parallels and contrasts between the war and the adventures of the Eleventh Doctor.

I had no idea that Assad was supposed to be an ophthalmologist.

You are welcome.
That speech from The Zygon Inversion still gives me chills. It's one of the best moments in Moffat's run.
It's just incredible. And the EMOTION. Gives me chills too.

I only know because of this book. It's very odd...
